Heart-healthy Salmon

Ingredients

2 center-cut salmon fillets (6 oz. each)

1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

¼ cup finely chopped cilanto

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste

Directions

1. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow bowl. Toss well with lemon juice, cilantro, Jolly Canola oil, and pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes.

2. Cook the salmon, skinside down in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan and carefully lifting the salmon with a spatula to loosen it from the pan.

3. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook until the salmon is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. The skin should be crisp and the flesh medium rare.

4. To make the salsa: Finely chop onion and mince garlic. In a bowl toss onion and garlic with cilantro.
